Diary Notes: Lamentable Laissez-Faire

Diary Notes: Lamentable laissez-faire

                     …the lêche cul is
back
         every cell of her a seething surging cesspool of putrid suck
the darling of the Prusso-Lepeniste muck:
      all degenerate  foul-mouthed   mean-minded  sick:
“I’ll grab his private parts thus ———>”
    her scabrous claw relishing the plucking thrust
the latter-day Jeanne d’Arc of the revived Napoleonic Kingdom
                                     she's back the neurotic blot on the wailing
phoney socialist rocambolesque reverie
            not even the sparrows hug the hedges now
   and no birds would sing in this worsted plain

         Harvey spoils the eclipsed arc
    the path of Yin is now well marked
all celebrating victories before they are won
     the people  the poor  the duped left to their wits
in sewage pools eddying hopes slipping through dams and dykes
                                                      the people   the poor
people always pay for the folly of hoisting fanfaron Pharoahs
    up above pyramid pinnacles on palanquins

        Yes, according to the very reverend Swift raiser of the race of Master Horses
             the world west of the Silk Road now is divided into
                       Yahoos      and   the Netan-Yahoos
     the jackboot now at last fits the untrodden masters
like a second moulted skin
       Brexit isles moored and annexed to the new-found Land

    She's back  the lêche cul  with her witches’ brooms and mops and 
pails littered under the portico   le portable stuck to her ear
       proclaiming her arrival    yet none gave her a long-awaited send-off 
   spying from a distance

“Let’s study the way he slips in 
     and slips out
of his cubicle door!”

              this time from behind the kinder garten glass doors
      all for the free
masonic fortress under foreign fiefdom

                  sun-burnt flesh reeks through the Mall
smacks of steak:  raw or well-singed
     the reek of rutting limbs is everywhere loud
in queues at milling supermarkets
                     at bus-stops
                         at postal bank self-service guichets
    come September the unheeding   dance and rejoice
October and their hinds begin to ache
      November when the bruises bulges pulled muscles broken
promises make no bones of their State
        the poor always pay for the mistakes and crimes of their masters 

     the moment of truth when thunder is stentorian  
                                             not a rumble on rails
nor a lone drone drawn out streak high in the sky heading for wind-swept isles
        the hour of reckoning must be at hand

       “I’ll grab his balls all in one hand:
               See, what can he do? See!” says she 
                                                              the lêche cul

This’s as far as the State can grasp  
       reduced to pilfering
   reduced to a kind of stunted growth
      the psyche stuck in a gluey paste
   holding hands pressing pumping palms
        waltzing on the Champs Elysée 
     lisping careless whispers:

“I’m never gonna dance again…
    Guilty feet got no rhythm…
The way I danced with you oh oh…
    So wrong that you had to leave me alone!”

Let’s plunder the proof he has
Then we can all kick his ass

(c) T. Wignesan - Paris, 2017
